Time is counting down. Is your car ready? - Focaljet

**JimmySolo2** · 07-04-2008, 12:41 PM

I know mine isn't. I have to put the passenger seat back in it, so I can give ride alongs.

**BadIdea** · 07-04-2008, 01:07 PM

I probably have another 4 hours of work:
radiator,
fix heater hoses do they're not sitting on the exhaust,
adjust shift linkgage,
hook up lines to the steering rack
wire kill switch to coil pack hot wire
alignment.

Hopefully it will all be done on Saturday. Passenger seat is ready to bolt in.

Recently I've done:
paint the cage
install new driver seat bracket from wedge
modify passengar seat bracket from cdoc
hubs and bearings all 4 corners with arp studs
rotors all around with daytona track pads up front
steering rack
thermostat housing and thermostat
a/c delete belt
springs, struts, shocks and lcracing plates

Oh and I reinstalled my imrc control unit with zip ties - thanks LC racing!

Leo
Who is the "guest" driver. Would that be an x world challenge Focus driver?
AIX and Mustange CHallenge participant? Spec Focus record holder at Grattan?

Looks like rain may kill my plans for this afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the brakes done.

**68 Touring Car** · 07-07-2008, 08:20 AM

I still need to put a trans and clutch in

**sleeperlove** · 07-07-2008, 09:46 AM

I have considerably LESS work than that.

**sleeperlove** · 07-08-2008, 07:32 AM

Let Craig know at the shop (586-336-RACE) if you have anything you might need and we will bring it along. But call early the trailers will leave by noon.

**K STYLEZ** · 07-12-2008, 01:18 PM

I had an odd sound I "thought" was something loose in the suspension...

It was a FREAKIN BOLT in the damn bell housing getting beat around like a damn pin ball!!! It only happened on certain turns though...

Punished the pressure plate pretty damn good, but I think its still usable, just not quite as pretty...

I couldnt make it out folks...

**guitarseth** · 07-12-2008, 08:10 PM

We missed you Karl.

I was wondering if you were going to show up. I have pictures from today, but I'll probably upload them tomorrow morning. I'm beat and have to be at work by 6 again.

**K STYLEZ** · 07-14-2008, 01:28 PM

Yeah... I feel like such a hoser not being there... Made alot of plans I had to break. And spent alot of time running around like a mad man trying to make it...

DAMN!
